These 4 movements are arrangements of movements 2, 4, 5, and 6of the Six Casual Developments. In later years HC, in applying forcopyrights, for instance, seems to have been uncertain which workwas derived from the other; but the letter to Ives quoted above (underno. 491, D) leaves no doubt. He continues by remarking on the "6short movements" and says "it is the first time I have written shorterworks for a long time"?something he would not have said if he hadrecendy composed 4 of the movements as part of this Suite. The lat-ter was recorded in 1934 (for New Music Quarterly Recordings) byGeorges Barrere and members of his Litde Symphony. Richard FrankoGoldman, in his notes for the first performance, says that the suitewas written "about 1933 for Georges Barrere" and the manuscripts(score and parts) were "lost" until 1947.
